Tagged: Des Moines, Iowa, populationPosted on: December 11th, 2006“Stratford native Joel Westrum owns a new business in the East Village. The growing residential population downtown and a need for Spanish-speaking health-care professionals in Greater Des Moines factored into his decision to open Westrum Optometry at 315 E. Fifth St. in early October. The 30-year-old Westrum learned Spanish while living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from 2001 to 2005 and studying optometry at a university there. His background in Spanish is helping his new business grow. “
